many scanners look for open proxies on port 3128 and 8080.

Thank you everyone for your help. The dedicated server company where my squid is located has just reported to me that "we are blocking outgoing connections on tcp/3128 port for security reasons". Does this mean that they are a "squid unfriendly" company? Is there any reason to block that port,
and not other ports associated with proxy servers??

Hi Reid,

I don't understand how blocking connections on port 3128 will provide your hosting company any security.

Why don't you request your hosting company to open up port 3128 for your server? If nothing works, then simple run your proxy server in a different port.

Thanking you...

Thank you all again, I appreciate the help with troubleshooting.
